Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from In the City by the Lake, Vol. 2: The Shadow, and the Slave Girl Love There is a splendid city by a lake That beats against its sea-wall restlessly, Like a great heart that hungers; - ever beats With mournful, mystic music, as if chafed By a great nameless sorrow; - beats and beats, As if the secret heart-aches of all hearts That ever in that city beat and break, Were buried in it. Almost it would seem, Some great magician plied his magic art To build that city, for so swift it raised Its domes, and towers, and spires to the sun, Far swifter than the slowly-building hand Of man is wont to raise them. Up it sprang, Most like the phantom fabric of a dream. One day a lonely fort´mid savage tribes Who scudded through the waving prairie grass After the deer and bison; and the next, A little village cradled by a lake That sang to it its solemn old sea-song, With but a handful of men´s souls; the next, A busy town, an infant Hercules Among earth´s splendid cities, even then, In sturdy childhood, giving prophecy About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
